Spirit Realm: Earth No. 10037.

This is a military-themed TV series. Some of the more famous characters include Shi Jin, Xu Sanduo, Wu Liuyi, Cheng Cai, and Yuan Lang.

However, this world was clearly also affected by Yang Ning's interference. For example, virtual games shouldn't exist in Xu Sanduo's era.

Of course, while the soldiers thought it was just a game, the company commanders and above in the relevant units knew that it was not a game at all, but a real world.

"Is that marshal an idiot? How can he command his troops like that?" Wu Liuyi angrily slammed down his helmet. "I've never fought such a humiliating battle in my life!"

He was one of those 20,000 men. He hadn't done anything in the past two days; he was on the move, then he was ambushed and shot dead before he could even draw his sword!

The frustration was comparable to being told to withdraw from an exercise the moment you stepped off a troop transport vehicle because it had been bombed by Nuclear Bomb.

"It's alright, I died late, I saw that pig get chopped down by Second Master!" Shi Jin patted Wu Liuyi on the shoulder and laughed.

"It really is Second Master Guan!" Wu Liuyi asked curiously.

"The Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the green robe, the red face, the big beard, and the squinting eyes—just like in the TV series! Who else could it be but Second Master Guan!" Shi Jin exclaimed excitedly. "I even saw Red Hare Horse! Unfortunately, my leg was injured at the beginning, so I could only find a random horse and nibble on its hoof. If I could move, I would definitely have given Red Hare a good bite!"

Wu Liuyi curled his lip. "Look at you, so pathetic!"

That's what they said, but Wu Liuyi was so envious he was practically drooling.

After all, that's Second Master Guan, the idol of hundreds of millions of Chinese people!

If I had the chance to show off my bravery in front of Second Master Guan, I could even get trampled to death by Red Hare Horse, let alone bite its Red Hare Horse!

Guan Yu probably never imagined that there was a reason why his opponent was so excited.

It's something like. "Second Master Guan, I'm your fan!"

With my idol in front of me, of course I have to perform well.

Before long, everyone in the company took off their helmets, and then Company Commander Gao Cheng used a megaphone to summon everyone for a combat debriefing meeting.

Peacetime is certainly good, but an army that doesn't shed blood always lacks a certain kind of fighting spirit.

Although there are drills in regular training, there are still some differences between drills and real combat.

Therefore, when Yang Ning came to the higher-ups with his plan and offered to provide a training ground for the million-strong army, the higher-ups agreed without much hesitation.

Of course, the fact that Yang Ning was a nonexistent figure, coupled with the high-tech gadgets they couldn't understand, was also one of the reasons they agreed.

Huijun only saw these soldiers laughing and playing around in the barracks, doing nothing, but she didn't see that scouts had already drawn up a clear map of the terrain, geography, culture, and military intelligence of the entire Daming region and even the surrounding countries.

Furthermore, covert and propaganda fronts were also established.

Even though everyone has a mobile phone, those who use mobile phones the best are definitely from modern societies.

After the debriefing meeting, all the soldiers lay down on their beds, only to wake up again under the starry sky of Taiheng.

Of course, soldiers who have already died can only be re-enlisted with new accounts; they certainly cannot go to the front lines.

"How do we fight now? Should we operate independently, or wait for the higher-ups to send a military commander?" a corps commander asked.

His surname is Man, and his given name is Man Da. He is a military command genius whose tactics are unpredictable and unconventional, making him a god-like figure on Earth.

"It's definitely waiting for arrangements from above!" another person said.

The other seven nodded in agreement.

The reason there are seven people is...

"The new leader is probably not as good as that Huijun, so we need to be careful and not fall into Zhuge Liang's trap again!" Man Da said, then looked at a political commissar. "Political Commissar Zhuge, that's your ancestor on the other side. What do you think he'll do next?"

The political commissar, surnamed Zhuge, rubbed his forehead. "I'm just an ordinary member of the Zhuge family, but he's Prime Minister Zhuge! You expect me to predict his fate?"

"Is that not allowed?" Man Da asked.

"Alright, we can give it a try!" Political Commissar Zhuge only said he was afraid of Zhuge Liang, but once on the battlefield and given the opportunity to fight Zhuge Liang, he immediately became excited and showed no fear whatsoever.

"I've read all the historical records and biographical assessments related to our ancestor. He only made a few mistakes in his youth, but he quickly corrected them!" Political Commissar Zhuge said. "The problems of our ancestor's poor judgment of character and his selfless dedication don't exist in this world, because the Mister Kongming of this world can cultivate immortality, and he can search back in the Spirit Realm to find out who he wants to know. In other words, we are facing a near-perfect Zhuge Liang, without any weaknesses!"

"We can't even overwhelm them with technology. The Zhuge Liang we're facing not only understands gunpowder, but also gun manufacturing, and even Nuclear Bomb."

The group exchanged glances and then fell silent.

As times change and human civilization progresses, the wisdom of people today is not necessarily inferior to that of people in ancient times.

But if this ancient person were Zhuge Liang, and a Zhuge Liang who had received modern knowledge, anyone would feel heavy-hearted.

"So, according to you, we should just surrender when we encounter Zhuge Liang?" A corps commander shrugged. "If he's invincible, what's the point of fighting?"

"Not necessarily!" Political Commissar Zhuge said, "He has his advantages, and we have ours. For example, our troops are a force with faith and strength!"

"How do you know that the other side has no faith and no power?" Man Da asked.

"Uh..." Political Commissar Zhuge was speechless.

Yes, the soldiers on the other side also have beliefs!

This belief is in the Prime Minister, who is full of wisdom, invincible in battle, and unconquerable in attack!

Moreover, land reform, such a powerful weapon, was ineffective against the enemy soldiers.

Your soldiers come from Earth, and so do theirs. What makes you differentiate between them? Are you referring to some distant land?

"It seems we have no choice but to rely on sheer strength!" The army commanders exchanged glances, then turned to look at the flat land between Linyang and the fortress.

Who knows how many bones will be buried here.

After Xia Huajun's side built a fortress, they used it as a base to build another fortress on the other side of the valley. With a wall between the two fortresses, a pass was thus erected.

Behind the fortress, the existing Way of Commerce were greatly widened, and supplies were continuously transported from here to the front lines.

More than 80,000 men were stationed at the pass. Zhao Yun led his troops in a daring attack, but the results were not ideal, and they had to retreat to Linyang. At the same time, Shu Han began to reinforce Linyang.

Linyang is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with no way to bypass it, and it is the only route for Xia Hua to advance eastward, making its strategic position similar to that of Hangu Pass.

However, this area had always been under the jurisdiction of Southern Forest and had never experienced war, so its strategic significance was never apparent.

Because all kinds of goods from western Southern Forest had to pass through this route, Linyang became a kind of trading port, and the large volume of goods flowing through it made the city quite prosperous.

As a distribution center for goods, Linyang also had wide and flat roads leading to various cities in the heart of Shu Han.

If Linyang falls, Xia Hua can use it as a base to expand in all directions, and then Shu Han will basically be doomed.

Therefore, the Shu Han side could not possibly abandon this city.

Although Huijun is dead, her phone is still alive, and by sheer coincidence, it has landed on a very tall tree and gotten stuck between the branches.

The camera lens was pointed directly at the entire battlefield, providing a panoramic view.

Huijun's live stream room, which she started during the battle, is still running, but due to the streamer's death and the temporary halt in the fighting, the number of viewers has decreased significantly.
